Oñati-Arrikrutz Cave Interpretation Centre and the Geological Tour
Located 200 m away from the car park, the Oñati-Arrikrutz Interpretation Centre hosts the visitors’ reception area and the information desk. In addition, there are permanent exhibits about the history of exploration of Arrikrutz, the complete topography of the cave, prehistoric remains found inside the cave… It is where the exploration of the underground world begins.
It is essential to be at the Interpretation Centre 15 minutes before the start of the guided tour.
The Geological Tour will guide visitors from the Interpretation Centre to the spot where the tour begins: the cave’s entrance. It is a pleasant tour in which we will find record of the lithology of the Basque Country.
